Wrinkly Kong: Difference between revisions

'''Wrinkly Kong''' (also known as '''Mrs. Kong'''<ref>'''Cranky's words''': "''Sure beats a visit from Mrs. Kong! How can I help you?''" - ''Donkey Kong Country''</ref>) is a character in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] who is the late wife of [[Cranky Kong]]. Her first appearance is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as an elderly [[Kong]]. Starting in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly is deceased and appears as a ghost. In most of her appearances, Wrinkly either provides information or saves the player's game progress.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly is revealed to have died sometime after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' and appears as a ghost. In every level's lobby, the active [[Kong]] can talk to Wrinkly from one of the five color-coded [[Wrinkly Door]]s. If the Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door of their color, a ghostly sound effect plays and Wrinkly comes out from the door. She gives a hint to an Kong on how they can obtain a [[Golden Banana]]. When talking to Wrinkly, a slower and major key version of [[Cranky's Lab]] plays. Her appearance as a ghost in this game would later continue into her future appearances.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Wrinkly is an unlockable playable character. She is unlocked by completing [[Candy's Challenges|Candy's Challenge]] #26: ''' Let Wrinkly Kong Win!''', which is level 4 in difficulty. As the name implies, Wrinkly must come in first in order to complete the challenge. Wrinkly's rival is [[Kopter]], and she has average boost and speed and maxed-out agility. Like all other playable characters, Wrinkly has the ability to perform [[Wild Move]]s.
